Front Door Replacement

[Don Chen]

Dear bigger pocket landlords,  

I have a tenant been complaining about the front door swells when it rains and it's hard to open and close.  I have sent a trusted contractor to over to property multiple times and we made some minor fix on the door.   My contractor is telling me the door is functional and it does not need to be repaired at this time.   I have advised the tenant of my contractor assessment of the front door.  I have offered the tenant an alternative solution for splitting the cost of a new front door.   My tenant disagrees with contractor assessment and not willing to split the cost of a new door.   

I would like some advice from other landlords how some of you would handle this situation with the tenant. 

Thanks for your advice in advance, 

Don

I also agree it's not appropriate to ask tenant to chip in on a repair to your property.

Your contractor should be able to find rub Mark's on door and sand this down to fix the issue.
